RE: version of RMAN versus database version

Jeffrey,

Check metalink note 73431.1 for a compatibility matrix showing the target db, 
rman executable, catalog db and catalog schema.
Starting from 9.2.0, your rman executable can range between 9.0.1.3 and <= 
target db, before 9.2.0, the rman executable had to match the target db version.

Subject: version of RMAN versus database version

I notice that a lower client version of RMAN can be used against a database.  
For example, RMAN 9i can be used against a 10g database.  However, is it 
recommended that the RMAN and database version match?
